Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Breading the Chicken
  1. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with a whisked egg, and one with breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, ensuring full coating.
Cooking the Chicken

  2. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Baking and Serving
  1. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Serve immediately with your favorite pasta or a side salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
